Description official descriptions

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is a remastered release of Dark Souls II. Next to the main game with all patches it includes the three DLC packs:

The gameplay has been slightly changed by removing certain safe zones and adding new NPCs and enemies, including the Forlorn. The placing of enemies have been changed to create a whole new game dynamic, specifically for returning players. Online and the campaign have had game balance tweaks, improved online matchmaking, better quality graphics and different item descriptions.

The PC (DirectX 11), PS4 and Xbox One version have additional upgrades to graphics, sound, and performance. For those platforms online gameplay has also been changed from 4 to supporting 6 players.
